A critical heap buffer overflow (CVE-2026-8711) in the NGINX JavaScript (njs) module (versions 0.9.4–0.9.8) can be triggered via js_fetch_proxy configured with client-controlled variables, causing worker crashes and enabling remote code execution on systems without ASLR; a fix is available in njs 0.9.9 and immediate patching, ASLR enforcement, and configuration hardening are recommended.
